a reflective look at his complex (to say the least) relationship with

airports; then we have a comic about the role parenthood plays in -—
adventuring, by returning artist Sprak; and finally we have the

conclusion (?) of the Magical Singing Frog's journey, by myself. =

If you like these comics please share them with everyone you know, and
